Chapter 17: New Terms

Yuheng slept until noon.

Mingzhou knew because he lay there and watched the light move across the brick wall.

A man's arm lay heavy across his ribs, and the old landlord had not once banged on the floor with his broom.

When Yuheng finally woke, he did it slowly.

He opened his eyes, saw the ceiling, and shut them again.

"Where is this?" he said into the pillow.

"Willow Lane," Mingzhou said.

"Ah."

"You've been asleep for six hours," Mingzhou said.

"Ou Jin will cry," Yuheng said.

"He's downstairs."

Yuheng's eyes opened again, very wide.

"He came up at ten and left a flask of soup on the step," Mingzhou said. "He didn't knock."

"He sent me a message that said, 'I did not see anything and I will take it to my grave.'"

Yuheng put his forehead on Mingzhou's shoulder and shook silently for a minute.

It took Mingzhou a moment to understand that he was laughing.

It was the first time he had heard it.

It was low and creaky from lack of use.

It made something warm and ridiculous turn over in Mingzhou's stomach.

"I have terms," Mingzhou said.

"Of course you do," Yuheng said.
